w. F. BACH HANGER FOR WALL RADIATORS Filed Dec. 9. 1925 Fatented WILLIAM 1?. EACH} or: CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, 01110.

Application filed December This invention relates to hangers for wall radiators and has for its principal object the provision of means for strengthening the lower end of the hanger and minimizing lateral movement of the base supporting shoe.

It is also an object to soy construct the lower or base supporting portion of a wall radiator hanger, as to prevent deforn'iation of the parts and facilitate assen'ibly.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application V Figure 1 is a side elevation of the hanger; Figure is a front elevation; Figure 8 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 2; and

F'gure 4E is a plan view of the lower foot or flange. 9 V

The hanger constructed in accordance with my invention includes supporting body preferably formed of one piece 6 of strap metal ofmedium weight, having its upper end provided with a slotted plate 7, between which and said upper end is secured an angle-iron bracket 8 mounting a radiator engaging bolt 9. This plate 7 and the bracket 8 are secured to the body 6 by a common means such as rivets.

The lower portion is substantially reverse S-shape, including an upper pair of forwardly projecting parallel arms 10 whose ends are connected by a bar 11, the arms being formed with a pair of vertically alined bolt holes. The lower end of the body is bent forwardly to form a base supporting foot or flange 13 having abolt hole 1st alined with the upper bolt holes 12.' This foot '13 is also provided with a vertical slot 15 which opens through the front edge of the foot and into the lower bolt hole 14. 1V hat I term a shoe, comprises a barrel 1G and a blade 1'7 preferably though not necessarily formed of sheet steel or the like, disposed at the lower end of the hanger and receives the greater portion of the weight. Ordi' narily the tendency to twist and move latcome the named objections.

the barrel and bolt holes, I entirely over- 'This bolt '18 has its head 19 engaging the lower end of. the, barrel below the foot 13, while its upper" end extends above the pair of forwardly projecting arms 10 for threaded engagement with a nut 20 or thelike which is designed to variably elevate the'shoe with respect to the main portion. This nut'QO is held against accidental rotation by means of a notched plate 21. i

The lower end of the body of the hanger is provided with a slotted plate 7 to permit attachment to a wall or the like.

'From the foregoing it is clear that the structure is such as facilitates assembly and latter, and then passing a bolt 18 through r l application as well as wide adjustment and further will successfully resist any tendency of the shoe to twist or move laterally under strain of the load supported or for otherv reasons. The structure set forth has proven highly satisfactory but it is understood that certain changes may be made within the scope of the appended claim. a

I claim:

A wall radiator hanger comprising a body attachable to a wall and having a substantially reverse S-shaped lower portion, said portion having vertically alined bolt holes, the lower arm of said portionprojecting' forwardly and having a hole with a slotv opening through the'adjacent front edge of said arm, a shoe having a barrel vertically slidable through the lower hole, a bolt pass ing through the holes and barrel, means for vertically adjusting the shoe, and a forwardlly extending blade carried by the barrel and projecting through said slot.

In testimony whereof, I do afiix my. signature. i
